When she was fourteen years old, Maud wrote in her journal, \"I love books. I hope when I grow up to be able to have lots of them.\" Not only did Maud grow up to own lots of books, she wrote twenty-four of them herself as L. M. Montgomery, the world-renowned author of \u003ci\u003eAnne of Green Gables\u003c\/i\u003e. For many years, not a great deal was known about Maud's personal life. Her childhood was spent with strict, undemonstrative grandparents, and her reflections on writing, her lifelong struggles with anxiety and depression, her \"year of mad passion,\" and her difficult married life remained locked away, buried deep within her unpublished personal journals. Through this revealing and deeply moving biography, kindred spirits of all ages who, like Maud, never gave up \"the substance of things hoped for\" will be captivated anew by the words of this remarkable woman.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLiz Rosenberg\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet, best-selling novelist, professor, and writer of numerous acclaimed books for children.
